FAQs

Is this vitamin C gentle on the stomach?
It is buffered, meaning the vitamin C is mostly bound to minerals such as calcium and magnesium, so it is less acidic than straight ascorbic acid. The label also directs taking it with food.

How long does a bottle last?
At one capsule twice a day, the 180-capsule bottle lasts 90 days, or roughly three months.

Is it vegan?
The capsule is plant-based carbohydrate gum and the formula contains no dairy, eggs or yeast; the selenium is yeast-free L-selenomethionine.
